We test drove the Chery Tiggo 8 Promax SUV recently and here’s the findings… Designed by a powerhouse team from the Chery Advanced Design Centre in Raunheim, Germany, the Journeo merges rugged off-road capabilities with the kind of comfort usually reserved for the first-class cabin of an airline.

Test driving the Chery Tiggo 8 Promax SUV

From the country to the coast, this is an affordable range SUV for families or singles – with a lot of stuff! – that you can’t go past. For three weeks, we test drove the latest model Chery Tiggo 8 Promax from the urban centres of Melbourne to the coastal reaches of Philip Island and the Mornington Peninsula, up to the winding country roads of the Victorian highlands, and there was one verdict than ran the gamut: this was one comfy ride. It’s a quality crossover SUV that’s here to prove that “budget-friendly” doesn’t mean “boring”. Chery, the Chinese carmaker making a name for itself in Australia, has loaded this beast with gadgets and gizmos that will make you think, “Wait, is this a luxury SUV or just really good at faking it?” Design & Interior First impressions? It’s shiny. The Tiggo 8 Pro Max brings a bold grille that screams “look at me,” and a sleek, modern body that’s undeniably eye-catching. Does it compete with its European rivals in that regard? Well, maybe not quite and it could run the risk of erring on the side of ‘too boxy’, but for what it is, the size you get and the driving perks, it’s OK to overlook that. Inside, things get more high-tech than a teenager’s gaming setup. Dual 12.3-inch screens dominate the dash because apparently, one screen just isn’t enough these days. The cabin is wrapped in faux leather (or as we like to say, vegan-friendly luxury) and comes with ambient lighting to make… Read More
